Today we talked about how Christmas is celebrated in other parts of the world. We got out the large 24X36 inch world map and located the different countries we talked about. it was fun finding where we lived and how far away the children in other countries lived. We traveled to Germany, and read a story about the first Christmas tree. Traveling to Netherlands where Santa Clause is called Sinter Clause. Over to Sweden where St. Lucia and a Christmas Gnome deliver presents. England and most of Europe Celebrate Christmas the same as we do. A big jump to Mexico we learned that the 3 wise men deliver gifts, and Christmas is celebrated Christmas eve night.
For a snack we made pudding and used England's tradition of putting a lucky nut in the pudding. Yule logs were talked about and a chocolate log with a pretend fire was sent home to eat.
